A public domain patched australasia file can be found via:
http://anna.info/wiki/ANNA_time_zone_database
The new abbreviations are:
AEST/AEDT
ACST/ACDT
AWST/AWDT
and currently without "A" prefix:
CWST/CWDT - Eucla
LHST/LHDT/LHHT - Lord Howe
The letters before the final T mean:
S - no daylight saving
D - one hour daylight saving
H - half hour daylight saving
Error reports are welcome. Maybe someone can create a patch file.
Some may favor using internationally disambiguated abbreviations,
since AE might be interpreted as United Arab Emirates, AC as Ascension
Island and AW as Aruba. It could also be desired to have constant
length. Such internationally time point unique abbreviations could be
used by CLDR for localization.
The format could be "<country code><location><type>T" and a set for
Australia, covering - except for LMTs (LMT=local mean time) - all
times in the IANA time zone database could be:
AUEST/AUEDT - East
AUCST/AUCDT - Central
AUWST/AUWDT - West
AUUST/AUUDT - Eucla
AUHST/AUHDT/AUHHT - Lord Howe
